I've had him for 6 weeks. He (could be a she) looked exactly like this when I bought him (he was the last one at the LFS and I felt sorry for him). He's active, he hangs around with my other Cory's (4 other skunk cories, 5 bronze Cory's and 1 Emerald Brochis/Cory) and is always interested in food at feeding time. He shows no signs of sickness, other than this weird pale pink color, translucency and faded/incomplete markings that he's had all along. I feed regular fish flakes (I also have giant danios who exist peacefully with my catfish - no bullying), bottom feeder pellets (carnivore and wafer), brine shrimp, blood worms and tubifex worms. Giving them a varied diet
Was this caused by stress before I got him? If yes, will his color ever bounce back? Could he be some kind of mixed breed cory? He is bigger than my other skunk cories... more similar to the size of my bronze ones. Could he have been dyed? Just trying to alleviate my worry when everything else about him is normal.
